			<outline text="I'm wiped out, sat in coach cramped in one position for four hours. I was not happy. The schmoozing has already begun. Shared a cab with Alan and Sue Cooper. Brent has arrived too. Next we're going to dinner. I have a fast net connection in my room, only $10 per day. Worth it. I love you all, take care, see you tomorrow."/>

			<outline text="Strange dream last night. Walking at night on the streets in NYC, end up somehow in a dark empty poor neighborhood with a fat wallet. A young child is with me, not an innocent child, a hardened city-wise kid, who knows it isn't good. I know it too. Walk down a street, hit a fence. Can't get through. Go another way, can't get through. &quot;We're going to get killed,&quot; I think. I hear voices. The kid and I crouch behind a car. Men dressed as gang members, talking loudly arrive, standing just on the other side of the car. They discover us. I stand up. Now what? I think (as I imagine the horrors that are about to happen to me and the kid). I offer the leader a cigarette. He takes it, empties the tobacco into a rolling paper, mixes in some hash, and passes it around. We laugh. They explain that they set their neighborhood up this way so the bad guys would stay out. What a relief. Did my mind prepare the whole story for me this way? How many levels of dreaming was I doing?"/>

			<outline text="I've become friends with James Hong, the brilliant young founder of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amihotornot.com/&quot;&gt;AmIHotOrNot&lt;/a&gt;. They're running at 10 million hits per day now. It's a unique Web community because it's gender balanced, equal numbers of men and women.  A SOAP app lurking behind a browser interface. James conceived it that way. &quot;What would make the most compelling SOAP app?&quot; That's the derivation of AmIHotOrNot. It's no accident James and his brother started &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmethods.com/&quot;&gt;XMethods.Com&lt;/a&gt;, a registration point for SOAP services. Reminder to ask James to include the ManilaRPC &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xmlrpc.com/manilaRpc&quot;&gt;interface&lt;/a&gt; in his database."/>
